BBjPrinter

Description

In BBj 4.00 and higher, a BBjPrinter object allows the user to select a printer and start printing.

Creation

BBjAPI > BBjPrinter

The BBjPrinter object is created through the following BBjAPI object method:

Return Value	Method
BBjPrinter	getBBjPrinter(AttributeSet `attributes`, boolean `client`)
BBjPrinter	getBBjPrinter(boolean `client`)
BBjPrinter	getBBjPrinter(string `name`, boolean `client`)

Methods of BBjPrinter

Return Value	Method
printRequestAttributeSet	getAttributes()
BBjForm	getForm(boolean `dialog`)
void	setAttributes(PrintRequestAttributeSet `attributes`)
void	setNative(boolean `native`)

Remarks

Server-side (local) printing in UNIX requires an X server to be running. When using a client (remote) printer, the client machine must have a graphics environment, such as X, but the server does not.

Constants

None.

Example

rem 'Get PrintRequest attribues for print job

rem 'Obtain the instance to the BBjAPI object
myAPI! = BBjAPI()

rem 'Obtain an instance of a default BBjPrinter object
let myBBjPrinter! = myAPI!.getBBjPrinter(0)
release
